Josh Scott

[Kitaman]

For those of you who analyze things better than me, what the hell did we do differently in the 2nd half?

The kid was a beast and too formidable for our bigs in the 1st half. Talk about a 'man against boys'. In fact had we not adjusted we were certainly looking at a loss.

Although I think some of it was fatigue (no way could he run like that for 2 halfs) but Ollie did something and I'm not sure what it was. It was the difference in our victory that's for sure, because he wasn't fouling out.

Fun to watch an earth-bound post player like that. I assume he's retiring now.

We pressured the guards in the second half. They couldn't get set to find Scott in the post.

Well looking at him, he is what, 40 years old. He probably got tired.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Big difference was giving Phil burn at the four, so they could double Scott with some heft. Enoch/Phil was working really well.

 

[Walker11]

Phil was also doing a really good job at forcing him to catch the ball 12 ft away.

 

[jibsey]

Kid is a beast but coach had a plan and even though Scott got plenty it worked out

Yup. And this was because the guards did a great job of denying the first, early post pass.

It was just better, smarter execution.

Think Greg Oden is his dad...

Kid reminded me of Battier. I wanted to throat punch him.

I've never seen a more favorable whistle than Scott got. That being said, he's a really great player, fundamentally sound. Nolan played great against him.

I heard he is heading to law school.

LMAO! He looked scary I tell ya. I am like WTF. Are players coming down from the NBA back to school?

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Nolan did a great job on Scott in the second half 1 on 1. Also, our perimeter pressure was intense against their guards. Refs were favoring them all day but we came through somehow.

Let's take down Jayhawks on Sat.

He is good but nothing showed me that he can play at the next level

He doesn't look half the age of perry Ellis on duke, who is well on his way to a vet minimum in the NBA next year .

Kansas. We get to make jokes at his expense in the next game.

[Eskapeesto]

Just heard a report he took offense to a billboard ad at the airport on the way back to Boulder:

 

[HooperScooper]

Scott shot 18 free throws. That's a lot. Has anyone shot at least 18 free throws against UConn this year?

Let's begin.
